Where a public sanitary or combined sewer is not available under the provisions of Article
II, §
88-7, the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewage disposal system complying with the provisions of this article.
Before commencement of construction of a private sewage disposal
system, the owner shall first obtain a written permit signed by the
Superintendent. The application for such permit shall be made on a
form furnished by the Village, which the applicant shall supplement
by any plans, specifications and other information as are deemed necessary
by the Superintendent. A permit and inspection fee in an amount set
from time to time by the Board of Trustees shall be paid to the Village
at the time the application is filed.
A permit for a private sewage disposal system shall not become
effective until the installation is completed to the satisfaction
of the Superintendent. He shall be allowed to inspect the work at
any stage of construction, and, in any event, the applicant for the
permit shall notify the Superintendent when the work is ready for
final inspection and before any underground portions are covered.
This inspection shall be made within 48 hours of the receipt of notice
by the Superintendent. (Weekends and legal holidays are excluded.)
The type, capacities, location and layout of a private sewage
disposal system shall comply with all recommendations of the Department
of Health and the Department of Environmental Conservation of the
State of New York. No permit shall be issued for any private sewage
disposal system employing subsurface soil absorption facilities where
the area of the lot is less than adequate to support the proposed
installation. No septic tank or cesspool shall be permitted to discharge
to any natural outlet.
At such time as a public sewer becomes available to a property served by a private sewage disposal system, as provided in Article
II, §
88-7, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with Article
II of this chapter, and the private sewage disposal system shall be cleaned of sludge and filled with bank-run gravel or dirt.
The owner or owners shall operate and maintain the private sewage
disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times at no expense
to the Village.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed to
interfere with any additional requirements that may be imposed by
any local or state health officer having jurisdiction.
